During the beginning of the "Top Ten" sequences of Canadian Idol at the beginning of the summer, the youngest of the competitors walked out on stage and played a 360/6 red with black trim. While I am not a fan of the Idol series of shows, I happened to catch this performance on my way through the TV room. Here's 18 yr old Mookie Morris and his 360 on Canadian Idol, playing Twist and Shout:
He was eliminated fourth from the top, so he could get on with making a real music career. This kid was good, and he played a Ric.
Any others vids come to mind?

The penultimate Canadian video, complete with a 360.
People used to say I looked like Bryan Adams back in high school. I was deeply, deeply saddened.
Quality isn't so great, but there's a 330/12 in there!

The red 360 Mookie played is actually owned by Craig Collett from Coll Audio, (site of the first Canadian mini-confluence). Craig's company supplies the back line for Canadian Idol.

I had my suspicions that it was Craig. Very cool. We'll have to get him to bring it out next time.

I love the Skaface vid Greg. Looked like a good time that night. Hard to see the 360/12 but you can definitely hear it!

Here's one from Canada's elder statesmen of indie rock. Can't see the Rick (vintage 330/6 JG) very well, but at least there's an amusing Canadian geography lesson in the intro.
